What happened? Amazon really sux these days. Totally dysfunctional delivery system. My balance on Amazon was listed at -$700, and it was upgraded as a 'complex software issue'! Must be the same problem Yahoo is having these days...

Great posts dude, I just started at Amazon in July, and it is (obviously) no longer the same company...however "it is still day one" according to Jeff :-)

Particularly, I enjoyed reading about how the entire website used to run on one huge box...that is ridiculous. These days, as I'm sure you know, the US livesite is served up by hundreds of Linux boxes. Also, Obidos is dead, it was turned off completely on Aug 31 and the website is now running 100% Gurupa.
